Money belts/fanny packs

[ShannyMcB]

I know fanny packs are back in a big way. But I cannot bring myself to wear one after my mother rocked them too much back in the day. I have what I guess you could call a money belt (it was $5 at a local store) and it worked ok on our last trip but the material made me extra sweaty to the point my cell phone case turned pink. Guess what color the belt is....
Other issue is it looks sort of bulky underneath clothing.
Anyone found a good pack/belt that will hold a phone and some $ but not buldge out under a tighter fitting top? I saw a couple on etsy that I liked but figured I'd come here for suggestions.

Not sure how big of a bag you're looking for, but you could always wear the fannypack type bags as a sling instead of around your waist. If you google search sling bags there's a ton of options that come up- small and bigger versions. I heard the one from Away is super lightweight and water-resistant maybe you can check that one out.

Embrace the fanny. All the cool kids are doing it.

Seriously after years of carrying other bags and trying other things, I will always go with the fanny at WDW.

Yep, just proudly sport that fanny pack. Or as another said, wear it as a sling and call it that. Or call is a hip pack. I do have a couple that lay flatish that I just bought on Amazon or at Target. I also have a couple of those runners belts that go around you waist and make you sweat and frankly with my cell phone in them under my clothes they look like I have a hernia. Just look up running belts on Amazon and you might find some that are between the beloved fanny pack and the sweaty mess of an actual runners belt.

Another vote for the fanny pack - it just makes way too much sense. I always found it a bit ironic that fanny packs were huge before phones were so much a part of our lives. And now that most people carry a phone, maybe a spare charge pack, some wires or buds - all that fit perfectly into a fanny pack, now fanny packs are uncool!! I'm way to practical in my old age to do the right thing here!!
